I always loved Christmas. For me (and a lot of other people for sure), it is my favourite time of the year. Of course I won’t lie saying that the presents are not the most important thing in Christmas : it DEFINITELY is. But Christmas is also spending hours in shops trying to find the perfect present for every person in your family. It is trying to find the present that will make them smile… You know this idea you can’t keep for yourself because you are way too excited to wait until Christmas ? When I think about Christmas, I also think about spending hours in the kitchen with my mum… cooking all our traditional Christmas biscuits and cakesBut Christmas is also all the lights, wether they are on your Christmas tree, in your garden or in the streets… everyone love all these colourful lights sparkling in the night.

Here, the celebrations starts at the beginning of December with the Christmas lights light on during a christmassy celebrations. In Leighton Buzzard it was on the 1st December, there was a Christmas market where they were selling local products, cakes, biscuits, sweets and Christmas presents… There also was a small Fayre, concerts… the kids love it !! Then at 7pm there was fireworks and they light on the Christmas tree.

On Saturday, I went to Phoebe’s school’s Christmas market to help. I currently help at that school every Wednesday with the Year 1. I went to the School’s Christmas Market to be one of Santa’s Elves. I had to keep the kids busy while they were waiting to see Santa Claus, so we made Reindeer food with oat and glitter (How cool ?). By mixing the oat with the glitter, it makes the oat visible from the sky for the Reindeer.
